Project Aim: The aim of this project is to answer the following question: “Does the application of clay to typical sandplain pasture paddocks of the Northern Agricultural Region have a positive effect on pasture production and erosion control”?

The project focuses on improving pasture production from clay spreading and planting serradella, a practice that has not been widely adopted in pasture systems.
